Chapter

Jntrofcuction.

N the following pages an attempt is made to record all existing
Inscriptions in the Cathedral and its Churchyard ; also to collect from all sources
Epitaphs no longer remaining.

In all cases copies have been taken from the original stones by the author's own hands,
as accurately as possible. (Note i.) This work has been attended with great difficulty in
consequence of the decayed state of many stones, or the unskilful repainting of numerous
tablets. Doubtless there have been many other inscriptions destroyed at various times, of
which no record remains. This remark applies not only to ancient stones, but to many
placed in the Churchyard within the last hundred years. The following order of arrangement,
which was deemed the simplest, has been followed in these pages : —
I. Epitaphs of the Bishops of Hereford.
II. „ Deans of the Cathedral.

III. All others in Alphabetical order.

It has been found convenient to adopt abbreviations of the names of the various parts of
the Cathedral, also of the authorities to whom frequent reference is made. A table of these
will be given, and a general index will complete the volume. A description of the
Monuments is occasionally, but not generally, given ; otherwise this work would be largely
increased. Notes are added, stating facts oftentimes trivial, but worthy, it is hoped, of
permanent record.

The Illustrations consist chiefly of Heraldic remains and other Monumental objects of
antiquarian interest. Three ground plans have been prepared which indicate the present
positions of all the most important Monuments and Epitaphs.

For the modern Heraldry which brightens these pages I would express my gratitude
for the assistance received in the production, as specially due to the Right Hon. and
Ven. Lord Saye and Sele, the Hon. and Very Reverend The Dean of Hereford, and Sir
Joseph Bailey, Bart., M.P., for the County of Hereford.

To Mr. Robert Clarke, of Hereford, Architectural Sculptor, I am under special
obligation for the great and unwearied interest he has taken in the preparation of most
of the Illustrations. Without his assistance, frequent and gratuitous as it has been, the
pictorial portion of this volume would never have been produced.

I must also record the important assistance I have received from Stephen Tucker, Esq.,
Somerset Herald. To him I am indebted for correct drawings of the modern Heraldry,
and for much valuable information and advice. To those many friends and subscribers
whose names are appended, I beg to offer my best thanks for their support ; trusting that
they will extend much indulgence to me for the many defects they may discover in the
attempt now made to collect and rescue from oblivion, the whole of the sepulchral epitaphs
in the Cathedral of St. Mary and St. Ethelbert.

Note I. — Those who may think that the work of copying is a simple and easy matter should spend half an
hour in the corner of the Bishop's Cloister, or over Bishop Bisse's epitaph, or Andrew Jones's
tomb in the Crypt. A due estimate may then be formed of the tedious nature of such work.

INTRODUCTION.

places for Burial.

About the year 750 a.d. Archbishop Cuthbert introduced the practice of enclosures
near to the Churches or Monasteries for the burial of the dead. Hence the origin of
Churchyards. Before this time the dead had usually been interred near highways, according
to the custom of the Romans, or in burial places remote from the cities, (a.) It was,
however, an early custom to bury persons of high rank in the Porch and outer buildings
of a Church ; subsequently persons of inferior quality were admitted thereto. The threshold
of the Church itself was soon crossed by Ecclesiastics generally, and Laymen were not long
in obtaining the privilege of burial within the walls of Churches, (b.) In this Cathedral
we cannot point to any Saxon or early Norman place of burial. Bishop Athelstan (ob: 1056
a.d.) is said to have been buried in his Cathedral. (See the Saxon Chronicle ; also Florence
of Worcester, Vol. 1., p. 214.) Dingley, 188, gives a sketch of his supposed Tomb. Several
ancient graves have been discovered near the " Magdalen Chapels " ; an interesting drawing
of one of them remains in the Library, (c.)

It will be observed that our Bishops, as soon as the Norman edifice arose, were always
buried inside its walls. What arrangements were made for the interment of other persons
in those early times we know not. The Cathedral, with its large staff of Dignitaries,
Prebendaries, Vicars, and others, was the principal place of burial for successive generations
of these ecclesiastics. Few distinguished Laymen were buried here in consequence of the
attractions of other monastic houses in the immediate vicinity. The great rival of the
Cathedral was the Church of the Blackfriars, which has now altogether disappeared.

In early times it was considered to be the highest honour to be buried near the High
Altar; this privilege was for a long time guarded most carefully. Bishops or Dignitaries
only were buried beneath effigies, or within arched recesses. Other Ecclesiastics adopted
sepulchral slabs, which at a later period were enriched with brass work of ever varying design.

That burials took place in the Cloisters at an early period is more than probable. Six
stone effigies of Lay persons, formerly there, are now in the Cathedral ; and a Sub-treasurer
was buried at the entrance of the Chapter House in 1375. (d.) It is also certain that the
northern side of the Cathedral was used for burial purposes. Several early documents
in the Cathedral archives relate to disputes between the Chapter and the Citizens respecting
the boundaries. Whether the Churchyard was used by the inhabitants of St. John Baptist's
parish, or by citizens generally cannot now be easily determined. Numerous burials also
took place near the College. The Vicar's Cloister was used as a burial place soon after
its erection for members of the College, but many of the Vicars Choral were buried where
they held preferment. In the Crypt no other burials are known to have taken place
besides that of Andrew Jones and wife, a.d. 1497. The Transepts and eastern Aisles
were used during the 17th and r8th Centuries for a large number of those who could
afford the higher fees, while outside, the whole area was so completely filled with the dead
that it was necessary to close the Churchyard, in the year 1791. (e.)

Merewether.

E. — In the "Gentleman's Magazine," June 24, 1796, the following statement appears: — "They write
from Hereford, that in consequence of an order of the Dean and Chapter, all the tomb-stones
and grave-stones in the Cathedral yard were levelled and removed, in the presence of an
assembled multitude, who could not refrain from venting their grief at this outrage offered

in a civilized and Christian country, to the memorials of their relations It is even

added, that a subscription is set on foot to try if redress cannot be obtained in a court of law.'

INTR OD UCTION.

It appears that on Sept. nth, 1790, the Dean and Chapter sent a communication to the
Incumbents of the several parishes within the City and the Suburbs thereof, to the following
effect : — "That having seriously considered the state of the Minster Churchyard and that of
the Lady Arbour, the only places of interment in this populous city, how greatly crowded
they are, and have been, with Bodies, having great reason to apprehend that some contagious
distemper may arise, endangering the health and even the lives of the inhabitants, we have
found it necessary to declare, That after March 25, 1791, no bodies can be admitted
for sepulture here, except such as shall happen to die within the Precincts," &x.

Throughout the former part of this century occasional burials took place in vaults, the
last being that of Mr. John Davies, the aged Verger, in 1874. The last burial inside the
Cathedral was Lieut. A. J. Grey, R.N., in 1854. But the last body deposited in the
Cathedral was in 1867, when the remains of Bishop Ironside were removed from London.
So completely was the interior of the Church undermined and the foundations injured by
vaults, that it became necessary to lay down a thick bed of concrete beneath the whole of
the present pavement, a.d. 1860-62. I cannot forbear adding the words of a highly gifted
living writer, to whom in boyhood's days, for nearly two years, I listened with wonder and
delight. " What a venerable and fearful place is a Church, in and around which the dead
are deposited ! Truly it is chiefly sacred, as being the spot where God has for ages
manifested Himself to His Servants; but add to this the thought that it is the actual
resting-place of those very servants through successive times who still live unto Him."
J. H. Newman's Sermons, I., 322.

Extract from a paper read by Dean Merewether, circa 1840, " I will proceed to resume
the subject previously introduced to your notice, namely, the remarkable assemblage of
ancient interments which our Cathedral and its precincts contain. We possess within our
walls the ashes of no less than 36 of those who have occupied the station and function of
the successors of the Apostles of our Lord, and whatever might have been the conduct
or the doctrinal error in which the ministry of some of them was executed, yet throughout
the list are to be found the names of pious and devoted men, to some of whom we owe
the splendid fabric which shields their bones. It is difficult in the presence of their remains
to divest the mind of a sensation of peculiar solemnity and grateful veneration. Without
enumerating their names it may suffice to remind you that we can point out the grave
of the first of the series of the date 1079, whilst, probably, indeed doubtlessly, many of an
earlier date have mouldered away in the same sanctuary, like those whom we described
as being unquestionably of Saxon days, in our last notice, — but where so many Prelates
had sought their final resting place, it is reasonable to suppose that the place would
acquire an estimation of peculiar sanctity, — and that aided by the impressions of the times
upon such subjects, the great and good would alike desire that their bones should rest
in such hallowed communion."

flDobes of Burial.

Considerable care must have been bestowed on the preparation of the dead for burial
at an early period. Otherwise they could not have been buried in the most sacred parts
of our great Churches throughout the kingdom. It was usual in Norman times to bury
great personages inside the Church only, just beneath the level of the floor, or above
that level when the body was placed in a stone chest. Much is certainly known respecting
the means adopted to preserve the bodies of our English monarchs and other great
persons from an early period. Full details are given in such works as Gough's " Sepulchral
Monuments," the "Liber Regalis," deposited in Westminster Abbey, the " Archaeologia,"

INTR OB UCTION.

or by Mr. M. H. Bloxham, in his " Monumental Architecture," and other works. But
present remarks are confined to Hereford, as it is necessary to keep this wide subject
within narrow limits. We do not know what means were adopted to prepare the bodies
of our Norman Bishops for interment. I am not aware that any of their tombs have
been opened or examined. It was usual to remove the inner part of the body ; after a
careful washing it was soaked in vinegar or saturated with salt. It was then encased in
hides or leather, or it was regularly embalmed with spices and aromatic gums, &c.
Sometimes cere-cloths only covered the body, or a liquid pickle was used when leaden
coffins were adopted. These were not common until the xv. Century. Bishop Swinfield
a.d. 1 316, lies encased in lead which is fitted to the body resembling the shape of an
Egyptian mummy. Lime or charcoal do not appear to have been used in our early
graves. Stone coffins hewn out of a single block, with' a recess for the head, and a small
circular orifice about the centre, in the bottom, were common during the xm. Century.
A fine specimen may be seen in the N. Transept. These were seldom of the same width
throughout, but tapered gradually from the head to the feet. Shortly after that time oblong
chests of equal width throughout came into use. In all cases great care was bestowed
on the remains of ecclesiastics previous to burial ; the funeral ceremonies were conducted
with much solemnity, the pomp and splendour being varied according to the rank and
wealth of the deceased. Each ecclesiastic was carried to the grave by those who held
the same rank in the church as himself. Those of superior, were not allowed to carry the
clergy of inferior degree, nor were the clergy ever permitted to carry the bodies of the laity.
The nobility, and eminent persons, were buried with great solemnities, especially in the
xv. and xvi. Centuries ; the proceedings sometimes extending over several days. Whether
embalmed or not, the bodies of Bishops were dressed in their episcopal robes, generally
with the Pastoral Staff, ring and other things appertaining to their rank, and sometimes
with a chalice and paten, according to the fashion of the age. The body was usually
placed in a light wooden shell which fitted the inside of the stone chest or coffin. Those
of inferior grade were buried in their respective vestments, with the chalice and paten on
the breast. Several specimens of these are preserved in the Library, the metal being a
kind of pewter.

The bodies of middle-class persons were sometimes buried in coffins of which the
lid was angular in shape, though many were interred without coffins at all, The bodies of
the common people so lately as the xvi. Century were only enveloped in a shroud, and
thus buried. We have no interments of hearts in this Church, as customary in the middle
ages, but we know where those of Bishops Le Breton and Cantilupe were deposited. Many
of the later interments were in coffins of lead, but no regulations seem to have required
their general adoption.

(IDonumente.

The earliest monumental stones remaining in this Church are to be seen in the N. E.
Transept. (Illustration xvm.) These are portions of flat coffin lids, of varied size and
design, which belong to the xn. and former part of the xm. Centuries. There are many
other specimens of these early stones incorporated into the fabric. The head of an effigy
in armour, a solitary remnant of that class, is also fixed on the W. Wall of the N. E.
Transept. A change in the shape of stone coffins gradually took place soon after the
middle of the xm. Century; equal width throughout being adopted. Shallow incised
slabs were in use before the introduction of brasses, (f.) Our earliest episcopal Monument

INTR OD UCTION.

with its effigy, is a most beautiful and elaborate production, constructed (as supposed) by
Bishop Aquablanca himself during lifetime, circa 1245-68. (g.) The next important
Monument is the stonework erection pertaining to the Shrine of St. Thomas de Cantilupe
in the N. Transept. Bishop Swinfield's tomb is probably the earliest of the numerous
burials beneath mural arcades or canopies. Shortly after this period the series of effigies
(ten in number) was introduced where the Norman Bishops are rightly supposed to be
buried. Other effigies were from time to time adopted, (h.) Altar Tombs were
adopted in the xiv. Century, but were never numerous in this Cathedral. The sides were
usually embellished with quatrefoil compartments, or small canopied niches containing
statues. (j.) Slabs with inlaid Brasses were very popular and numerous in this
Church in the xv. and xvi. Centuries. As art declined the Monuments became more
imposing in size, while abuses of all kinds crept in. Before the time of Queen Elizabeth
there was a distinctly religious character about the Monuments of all kinds ; the attitude
was invariably that of prayer. The posture of later effigies was changed to that of
meditation, and numerous incongruities — of which no further mention need be made —
came into fashion, (k.) Although vast changes were made within this edifice, and
much destructive violence was applied to everything which was thought to be idolatrous,
it is marvellous that our Monuments escaped as well as they did. We have numerous
examples of a wanton defacing of the pious works of former times ; but whether these
were the works of the Reformers or of Puritan fanatics under Cromwell cannot now
be easily determined. The object of the Reformers was, generally speaking, to purify,
not to desecrate ; while on the other hand the Puritans were not satisfied, unless
desecration was accompanied by demolition, (l.) Most of our effigies bear traces of
violence having been applied generally to the heads and hands. In the enthusiastic hatred
of all church ornaments, the Cathedrals were exposed to rapine, plunder, and profanation.
But at Hereford there does not appear to have been any disturbance of the remains of the
dead. After the Commonwealth, interments were numerous, especially in the Transepts

Note G. — Mr. Gordon Hill's "Architect: History," p. 19.

H. — There are many valuable remarks in Haines' "Introduction Mon: Brasses." He says, "Sculptured
Effigies hold the first rank, by reason of their higher antiquity, their greater size, and the
labour, skill, and taste required for their execution. On account of their costliness they were
chiefly confined to persons of rank and wealth. Figures of Priests below the dignity of
Abbots, and of civilians, are rare. They were almost always coloured, although few of them
now retain any traces of it. " The following is a list of the 41 Monumental Effigies in the

K. — Mr. Matthew H. Bloxham states that the various Monuments of the XVII. Century may be included
in one or other of the following classes : —

I. — Altar Tombs, or sarcophagi with effigies beneath semi-circular arcades, generally

Corinthian.
II. — Tombs or sarcophagi beneath square heavy canopies of Corinthian order, ponderous
structures.
III. — Altar Tombs, with or without canopies, with effigies reclining on their side ; along the
sides of many, small effigies of children kneel on cushions, males in succession on the
one side, females opposite on the other.
IV. — Upright monuments with small-sized effigies kneeling before faldstool.
V. — Brasses with inlaid portraitures, altogether inferior in detail to those of more ancient date.
VI. — Monuments with bustos.
VII. — Full length effigies, recumbent, kneeling, or reclining.
VIII. — Mural tablets — not common until after the Restoration — or flat engraven stones.
IX. — Churchyard altar tombs and headstones, not often found of an earlier date than 1670.

and eastern parts of the building. Many mural monuments were erected, and inscribed
stones continued to fill the pavement. Much injury was caused to these stones when
the marble pavement was laid in the Choir, and during the progress of other extensive
works in the time of Bishop Bisse. In the Cloisters additions were constantly made to
the tablets and gravestones, and in the Churchyard a large number of headstones and low
Tombs were from time to time erected. After the fall of the western Tower in 178.6
extensive works were undertaken which lasted for several years. During this period great
injury was done to countless memorials of the dead. Many stones were broken or
removed, brasses were torn up and sold as old metal, and several of the Tombs and
Effigies were removed unnecessarily to other parts of the Church by Mr. Wyatt. Many
of these have been replaced in their original positions.

There does not appear to have been further disturbance until about 40 years ago,
when the Crypt was excavated and the soil of the Churchyard lowered considerably.
This involved the taking down of all the Tombs and headstones, very few of which now
remain. Inside the Cathedral vast preparations were made to shore up the piers of the
central Tower, which was pronounced to be in a state of imminent danger. All Monuments
under or near the Tower were hastily taken down, and the remains of the dead were
removed to a common receptacle in the centre of the Nave, (m.) The Monuments
thus taken down were heaped with some degree of order in the S. E. Transept, and
remained there several years. There is no doubt that their complete restoration was
intended at some future time, had Dean Merewether lived a few years longer. The
smaller Tablets were stored in the Crypt in comparative safety, until it was resolved
to fix them on the walls of the Bishop's Cloisters in 1866. In 1853, when my
connection with the Cathedral commenced, the whole of the inscribed stones were
placed outside the S. Transept ; while thousands of fragments of most costly monuments
were to be seen in hopeless confusion in the Chapter House Yard, (n.) The sum of
^500 was provided by the Dean and Chapter to effect the present arrangement of the
Monuments inside the Cathedral, while several inscriptions have been restored by private
assistance.

Of the following costly Episcopal Tombs little now remains, besides the effigy or
inscription: — 5, Westfaling ; 9, Field; 18, Bennett; 50, Lewis Charlton; 51, Coke;
60, Lindsell ; Near 73, Bisse ; 80, Tyler (Dean of Hereford).

In the Report of the Sepulchral Monuments Committee, presented to both Houses of
Parliament in 1872, the following Historical Monuments were deemed worthy of being placed
under the protection and supervision of the Government :— Nos. 6, 8, 12, 21, 50, 67, S4.

There is a valuable essay on the Preservation of Monumental Inscriptions by T. W.
King, Rouge Dragon {Arch: J-ourn: 1., 135), in which the gentry and clergy are exhorted
to a zealous and watchful care over the monumental records of families. The concluding
remarks refer to the removal of a stone from Stoneleigh Church some years previously,
which in 1828 would have afforded important evidence when the claim to the Barony
of Leigh was brought before the House of Lords. "This case" — the writer observes—
" exhibits one of those instances of the want of similar care in the preservation of family
sepulchral monuments, in which not only a title of peerage, but claim to property was
deeply involved."

Note M. — See Ground Plan, No. ill.

N. — The sight of such a wreck of Monuments was a truly strange and grievous one. My first care was
to rescue this and many other interesting fragments, shields, &c, by placing them inside the
Church. The alabaster half-effigy of Pishop Field was exposed on the top of the heap.
With the assistance of a friend (Mr. J. T. Owen Fowler, late Mayor of Hereford) this effigy
was conveyed to its original position. After exposure for several years, many pieces were
lost, broken, or removed, so that it was deemed advisable to consign the remnants to an
excavation prepared on the spot for that purpose. Sec Ground Plan of C.H.Y. marked J.

inscriptions.

"The shortest, plainest, and truest epitaphs are best," saith honest Fuller. "For
when a passenger sees a chronicle written on a tomb, he takes it on trust that some great
man lies there buried, without taking pains to examine who he is. I say also, the plainest,
for except the sense lie above ground, few will trouble themselves to dig for it." On the
earliest Monumental stones few words, if any, were ever inscribed. The name and rank
of the deceased were alone recorded, the date being rarely given until xiv. Century.
The early inscriptions had but little variety of language or sentiment, but they were always
striking and solemn, flowing naturally from the faith then professed. They generally
expressed that deep humility which is altogether wanting in many later examples. We
have no perfect specimen at Hereford, but the fragments in the N. E. Transept are
worthy of careful examination. A large number of these ancient stones have been
discovered in Parish Churches of this Diocese restored during the last 40 years.

In many Churches these ancient memorials are preserved with most laudable care ;
while in others they are turned out of doors, simply to perish, their place in the pavement
being filled up with modern encaustic tiles altogether devoid of interest or beauty.

As time advanced, coped stones or flat slabs were gradually enriched with raised
carving or incised work of much skill and beauty, the cross always being the leading idea.
Medallions were introduced on monumental stones with diminutive heads or effigies, which
speedily developed into the full effigy. Latin was the universal language for Inscriptions
until the latter part of the xm. Century, when Norman-French came into fashion for a
limited time. Of these we had a few examples, (o.) Our oldest remaining inscription
is on the Tomb of Bishop Swinfield, a.d. 1316. See Plate iv. Dingley asserts (cliv.) that
there was one yet earlier on the Tomb of Bishop Acquablanca, a.d. 1268. The introduction
of brass work on monumental stones increased the number of inscriptions in our Churches
very largely. At first they were very brief, but at a later period they were much expanded.
The simple " Priez pour sa alme," of Centuries xn. and xm., and the "Orate pro anima,"
of the xiv. Century prevailed ; and occasionally some holy text or important truth was
brought forward, conveying an impressive lesson to the bystander. There was nothing
trifling or ludicrous — says Johnson (p.) — nothing that did not tend to the noblest end, the
propagation of piety, and the increase of devotion. These short but solemn mediaeval
inscriptions, when contrasted with those which derive their merit from their classical
elegance, seem to harmonise best with the dignity of our Gothic piles, and remind us
plainly of the worship to which they are dedicated. We read these solemn supplications
for pardon and mercy, as voices from the grave, and are admonished by them that we are
but dust.

Towards the close of Century xvi. a great change took place in the general character
and specially in the length of inscriptions. Long pompous epitaphs in Latin, so frequent
during Century xvu., came into use. This lengthiness possibly arose from religion being
viewed more in its human than in its divine relations. The Cross was forgotten — self was
commended — long epitaphs, proverbially false and incredible, appeared ; men's virtues, not
Christ's merits, — what they have done, not what they need or have left undone, — make
up a pompous record, seldom read and never believed ! Other epitaphs frequently amounted
to little more than an enumeration of preferments or political services, a mixture of
spiritual and secular affairs, graces and titles, in a word, God and Mammon.

Epitaphs on eminent divines are sometimes diffusive, and generally too secular and

laudatory, involving the talents and virtues of the deceased in a maze of classical panegyric.
In that secular age the language of assurance rather than of hope was too often adopted,
forgetting that the Church ventures only thus to express herself even of the most excellent
of the earth. No wonder then that many holy men requested that no monument should
be set up to their memory. These pages testify that several of our own Dignitaries were
buried here without any memorial. Bishop Sanderson (q.) directed in his Will, "that
no costly monument be erected for my memory, but only a fair fiat marble stone to be
laid over me." And Sir H. Wootton directed his executors to "lay over his grave a marble
stone, plain and not costly, — considering that time moulders even marble to dust, for
monuments themselves must die." Of Sir Matthew Hale it is said, that "his tombstone
was like himself, decent and plain, with a bare and humble inscription." (r.) Of such
monumental stones those to the memory of Bishops Croft, Humphreys, and Ironside, are
excellent examples. For historical and genealogical purposes old inscriptions are of the
utmost value, giving as they do facts and dates which no Registers supply. The inscriptions
in these pages have in all cases been copied from the original Monuments or stones.
Lost portions, printed in italic, are made up from the authorities quoted. It is scarcely
possible to state where many of the tablets were originally fixed which are now in the
Bishop's Cloister. Their present position is indicated as nearly as possible in most cases.
These remarks apply also to the stones in the Chapter House Yard. Neither is it possible
to reproduce the punctuation which has perished on many painted tablets, or to set out
the same in lines of varied length as in the originals. The greatest care has been taken
to give accurate copies of all inscriptions, which work was commenced in 1856, and
gradually carried on until 1874. On retracing my steps over all in 1880, it was found
that several inscriptions were gone — simply perished or destroyed, while others were
partially obliterated, or far advanced in decay.

There are twelve Public Memorials in this Cathedral, which demand a few words
of explanation, further details being given in the Visitor's Hand Guide, (s.) The order
of their erection is now followed ; the inscriptions will be found in subsequent pages.

It may be well to state in these pages precisely what Registers are to be found at
Hereford. Frequently this Cathedral is regarded as a storehouse of much that relates to
ancient times — that many old Registers are in the Episcopal or Decanal archives of
inestimable value to the genealogist. Great indeed has been the disappointment of
many inquirers when the true state of matters was laid before them. The value of the
Inscriptions in these pages is greatly enhanced by the fact that the Cathedral Registers
only commence in the year 1686, and the Parochial Registers of St. John Baptist in 1604.
The oldest Bishop's Register commences a.d. 1275, recording only Diocesan proceedings.

refer to burial matters, with the exception of those now enumerated. It is my belief that
these Burial Registers were in the sole charge of the Vicars Choral until the year 1853
or 1854. The two junior Vicars were responsible for the burials entered therein, and they
received the fees payable to the Officiating Minister. This duty was discharged by the
author of these pages when the last burial took place inside the Cathedral on May 2nd, 1854.

The Constitution is a Corporation aggregate, governed by the Caroline Statutes —
a.d. 1636 — and by ancient custom in such matters as are not regulated by those Statutes.

In the year 1870 certain Injunctions or Statutes, more particularly regarding the Vicars
Choral, Ministers, and others of the College of Vicars Choral of Hereford, were promulgated
by the Dean and Residentiaries with the consent of the General Chapter of the Cathedral
Church, and the sanction of the Lord Bishop of Hereford the Visitor.

IN ancient stone effigy of this King and Martyr stands

In 1875 a slab of incised Sienna marble was laid down
in the centre of the pavement in front of the Bishop's Throne
depicting the scene of the murder. Around is the following
inscription —

"Saint Etbelbert is bebeaoeo bp order of ©ffa ming

MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS IN THE

ffiisbops of Ibereforb.

JIOTHING is known of the burial
places of the Bishops of Hereford
in Anglo Saxon times. It is only
natural to suppose, that they sought
for resting places as near as possible to their
own Cathedral. No Burials were allowed
within the precincts of towns before the
middle of the eighth. Century.

Our 5th Bishop, Cuthbert (a.d.
736-40) erected "tumulum magnificum" to
his predecessors in this See (Note 1.)

When he became Archbishop of Canter-
bury, he obtained permission from the Pope
to allow Cemeteries to be contiguous to
those Churches which were erected within
the walls of Cities (a.d. 752.)

During the three following centuries none
were ever buried inside a church unless the
deceased was of the highest rank.

In Norman times Bishops and great
ecclesiastics were generally buried inside the
churches which they had built or endowed.

Our last Saxon Bishop is the first of
whom there is a clear record that his burial
took place inside the Cathedral he had
built (Note 2.)

25. Ethelstan, died at Bosbury,
February 10, a.d. 1056. "His body was
carried to Hereford and interr'd in his
Church there." (Note 3.)

27. Walter of Lorraine, died
a.d. 1079, and is said to have been buried
in this Cathedral. (Note 4.)

28. Robert of Lorraine or de
Lozing, died June, 1095, "and lieth buried
on the South side of the High Altar, under
an Arch of Free stone, in the north wall
of that Isle," (R. 175) bearing the following
inscription — " Dominus Robertus Lozing,
Ep~us Herefordensis, obiit a.d. 1095."
(Note 5.)

30. Reinhelm or Reynelm, died
October, 1115. Buried in the N. aisle of
the Choir, under an arch and effigy with
this inscription — " Dominus Reynelmus,
Ep~us Herefordensis, ob: a.d. 1117."

'te 1. "Qui quondam extiterant famosi altique per orbem,

Corpora sena tenet hominum hie niarmor obumbrans ;
Tumbaque mirifico prresens fabricata decore,
Desuper ex alto cohibet cum culmine tecta.
Hos ego Cudbertus sacri successor honoris,
Inclusi titulis, exornavique sepulchris.
Pontifices ex his ternos sancta infula cinxit,

Regulus est quartus Milfrith cum conjuge pulchra
Cuenburga, extitit e senis hxc ordine quinta.
Sextus prceterea est Oselmi filius Osfrith."
William of Malmesbury (ob: a.d. 1143) gives the above epitaph in his work " De gestis l'ontilicum."
2. — The figures placed before the name of a Bishop indicate his place on the succession roll of this See.
3. — I am not aware that any author described the precise spot of this Bishop's interment, until Dingley's
"History from Marble" appeared in 1876. On page clxxvi. we find a drawing of a
tomb ascribed to "Bishop Ethelstan in ye north wall of ye north Isle." There is no trace
of any such monument.
4.— Brown Willis in his Ichnography ascribes the monument in the S. wall of the Nave nearest
to the Cloister door, to this Bishop. But our greatest living authority states that the effigy
on this tomb shews the ordinary dress of the clergy when not engaged in divine offices —
that there are no episcopal insignia whatever — and that it represents a Dean of the XIV.
Century. (Mr. M. H. Bloxam on "Sepulchral Effigies," Arch: Jour:, vol 34 for 1877.)
5.— Dingley saw this inscription on this tomb circa, 1684. But it appears that before Rawlinson
saw it in 17 1 7 the inscription had been re-painted, altogether erroneously. This "mistake

of the painter " is specially noticed by Rawlinson (p. 175.) I wish to call attention to this
fact, which accounts for B. Willis, Gough, and many others assigning this tomb to Bishop
Reynelm. Hence much confusion. The S. side of the High Altar was the most likely
place for the burial of this great builder of the first Norman Church, and the N. side of
the same Altar the next great builder would naturally select for his resting place. At that
time the whole eastern bay of the Choir was occupied by the shrine and relics of St.
Ethelbert ; so that these Norman prelates were buried as near as possible to the High
Altar which stood 15 feet (or more) to the West of its present position. Mr. Bloxam
gives the following description of the Tomb and effigy, "Beneath a sepulchral arch of the
xiv. Century with the ball flower in a hollow moulding, is the recumbent sepulchral
effigy of a bishop, executed in the XIV. Century, similar to and of the same class as the
four effigies I have thus described, but with a low mitre. The representation of a church

is held in the left hand This monument to his memory could not have been

constructed till nearly two centuries and a half after his decease. Above the sepulchral
arch is some decorated woodwork of good character of the XIV. Century."

§. — This beautiful monument was designed and carved with consummate skill, and is in a very
fair state of preservation. The details of the episcopal vestments are rich. Careful
drawings have been taken, and are in the possession of the author. The face of this
Bishop exhibits both the moustache and beard. He is vested in alb, stole, tunic, dalmatic,
and chesible, with the maniple. Gloves cover the hands, and the feet rest against a
canopy. Mr Gordon Hills gives an excellent architectural sketch of this tomb in Arch:
Journal, III. 23S. XXVII. 21. Archasologia xvm. 18S.

MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS IN THE

43. John de Breton, ob: a.d.
1275. This Bishop was buried in the
Cathedral, but the actual place does not
appear to have been recorded. It has been
suggested that he was buried in the fine
stone coffin — now in the Cantilupe Aisle —
which was discovered during the restoration
of the Tower piers, under the northern arch.
The Coffin may fairly be assigned to that
period.

44. Thomas de Cantilupe, ob:
a.d. 1282. Dingley, clv. and clvii.. gives a
sketch of this tomb with the following im-
portant information — "On the right hand,

is seen the following fair

monument .... of St. Thomas of
Cantilupe adorn'd with several small figures
about in it coats of maile bearing shields with
armes not discernible. Under ye upper
arches, were his figure and Inscription inlayd
with brass which escaped not the rapine of
sacrilegious hands ; the onely inscription
relating to it is on the wall on the right hand
thereof thus. Dn~f? Thomas de Cantilupe
Ep~us Herefordensis obiit anno d~ni
mcclxxxii." (Note 10.)

45. Richard Swinefield, ob: a.d.
1 3 16. Buried in the N.E. Transept in a
stone coffin beneath a richly moulded canopy.
The inscription is complete, being the earliest
in this Cathedral.

Swinefeild: cantuariensis: diocesis: quondam :
Episcopus: Herefordensis. (Note n.)

47. Thomas de Charlton, ob:
a.d. 1343. Buried under an effigy and
canopy beneath the great window of the N.
Transept. The inscription has recently been
painted on the lower part. " Dn~* Thomas
de Charlton, Ep~us Hereford's obiit a.d.
1343." (Note 12.)

48. John Trilleck, ob: a.d. 1360.
This bishop was buried in the centre of the
Choir under the modern circular design.
From this place the brass effigy was moved
when the new marble pavement was laid
down by Bishop Bisse. His remains were
disturbed in 181 3 when Canon Ford was
buried in that place. (Note 13.)

This fine early brass bears a figure of the
Bishop 5 feet in height, drawn with remark-
able boldness. The Vestments are those
proper to the Episcopal office, but the Tunic
is wanting. The pastoral Staff terminates in
an elegant foliaged scroll. The Canopy is
mutilated, and the inscription is entirely lost.
Dingley's sketch preserves the words " gratus
prudens pius. . . Andree festo preventus
morte recessit . . prope favens."

49. Lewis de Charleton, ob: a.d.
1369. Buried in S.E. Transept under what
was formerly a rich monument. The effigy,
and portion only of the original Tomb have
been replaced. The original inscription,
visible until taken down circa 1842, has
been lately replaced. " Lud~s de Charleton,
Epu~s Hereford's, obiit a.d. 1369. (Note 14.)

Note 10.— In Carter's Architecture, a.d. 1795, there are two sketches of shields and spandrel on this
tomb. Plates 45, 78. Mr. Bloxam, in his remarks on Sep. Effigies, says :— Perhaps the
most interesting feature in the Cathedral is the stone-work erection pertaining to the Shrine
of St. T. de C. The design is a rich specimen of Decorated work, and consists of a high
tomb arcaded along each side in 6 divisions, by cinquefoiled pointed arches, each containing
the statuette of a knight in a hooded hawberk of mail with a sleeveless surcoat, shield, and
sword. The spandrels of the arches are covered with sculptured foliage. Above this is an
open arcade of 6 pointed arches trefoiled within, and the spandrels enriched with sculptured
foliage. The slab which covers the upper portion of this work is flat. On it probably was
placed the wooden feretrum or shrine which contained the actual remains of the canonized
Bishop. This tomb was opened some 40 years ago. I have an account written by one who
was present, which it would not be prudent to publish. It has been carefully restored and
moved from the eastern wall, and mounted on a new stone base, under the direction of
the late Sir G. G. Scott.

MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS IN THE

64. Charles Booth, ob : a.d. 1535.
Buried under an effigy and Tomb in the N.
wall of the Nave, erected by the Bishop
during lifetime. The original inscription, cut
into stone fixed above the effigy remains
uninjured.

" Carolus Booth, Episcopus Herefordensis
cum 18 annos, 5 menses et totidem dies
Ecclesise huic cum laude prefuisset, quinto
die Maii 1535 defunctus sub hoc tumulo
sepultus jacet." (Note 18.)

68. Robert Warton, alias Purefoy,
ob: a.d. 1557.

Bp. Godwin states that this Bishop "jacet
in Australi parte Ecclesi~ Cathedralis."

B. Willis in his M.S. states that "he was
buried in H. Cathedral without any memorial."
(Note 19.)

70. Herbert Westfaling, ob: a.d
1 601. Buried under an effigy against the N.
wall of the N. Transept. The original monu-
ment is altogether destroyed, but a portion
of the original inscription is placed in the
S. Cloister, of which the following is a copy
made up from Rawlinson 127 —

" Memorial Herberti Westfalingi quondam
Episcopi Herefordensis sacrum. Herbertus
Westfaling natus Londini, educatus Oxonii,

Episcopum habuit ; cujus corpus quamvis
Mortalitas terrse subjecit, animum tamen ejus

The following was painted on the stone
base a.d. 1877 — "Dom~s Herbertus West-
faling Epis~c Hereford", obiit a.d. 1601.
(Note 20.)

71. Robert Benett, ob: a.d.
16 1 7. Buried beneath an effigy on the N.
side of the Choir. The whole of the original
monument of alabaster and marble is des-
troyed. On the adjoining wall in N. aisle of
Choir, the following fragments may be seen —

1. A circular tablet with Mitre and Arms
of See, impaling those of Benett, quartering
the Arms of Langley.

2. Painted tablets of wood, with Latin
verses, which are here given.

Hoc sita sunt tumulo crelesti digna Sepulchro

Ingenium, pietas, et sine fraude fides ;
Religionis Honos, Dux templi, et gratia Doctis

Porta patens miseris, Urbis et orbis amor.
O veri Antistes vera? pietatis amator

Non sine fruge fides, nee sine fine preces,
Prresul in Urbe tribus Tu lustris : cum tua sese

In Christi Sacrum conderet umbra sinum.

Leonardus Benett.

Note 18. — Most of our large ancient monuments were protected by iron railings. The ironwork in front of
this Tomb is the only specimen in the Cathedal which has not been disturbed.
The front is divided into six square panels, each containing a shield with armorial bearings. The
recumbent effigy represents the Bishop as vested with the mitra pretiosa with pendant fillets.
He wears the cassock, amice, alb, stole, fringed tunic and dalmatic, and chasuble with
orfreys in front. Broad toed sandals appear on the feet ; the hands are gloved ; the pastoral
staff is veiled on the right side. The crook and ferrule are gone. The head reposes on a double
cushion, and on the right side is a feathered angel. At his feet there is no animal. By his
will be appointed to be buried in the vestments in which he was consecrated. Arms, Arg.
3 boars heads erased erect, Sa. A rose in fess point.
1 9- — The mutilated Tomb in the N.E. Transept may possibly have something to do with this Bishop.
20. — Dingley, cxxxvn., gives a good sketch of this Tomb. This being the earliest example of a Tost
Reformation effigy a great change is found in all the details of dress and position. This
Bishop is represented reclining on the right side, with the head supported by the right hand.
On his head is a scull cap, a moustache and a long (lowing beard, and round the neck a ruff.
He is vested in the rochet and chimere, over which is worn the tippet ; the drapery of the
rochet or cassock is gathered up and held by the left hand. The folds of these are very
numerous and unsatisfactory, and the execution of the stune effigy is indifterent. The Arms
were Arg. a cross between 4 caltrops, Or.

72>- Augustine Lindsell, ob: a.d.
1634. Buried in S.E. Transept under an
effigy. The whole of the original monument

and inscription have been destroyed. Raw-
linson 32 gives the inscription, also Dingley

In this recumbent effigy the Bishop is
represented as wearing the square cap,
moustache, and beard. He wears the rochet
and chimere with the tippet over. The rochet
is plaited in front with a worked border, and
the lawn sleeves are very full, the lappets of
the breast of the chimere being thrown back.

75. Theophilus Field, ob: a.d.

On a square white marble formerly in the

Cloister.

The following is on the monument, now
in the Cloister, formerly erected under the
Organ loft on the west side.

' ' Sacred to the Memory of

THE HON. AND

RIGHT REV. EDWARD GREY, D.D.

Youngest Son of Charles, first Earl Grey,

Who was born 25th March, 1782, and died 24th

July, 1837-

In the year 1831, he has appointed to the office of
Dean of this Cathedral, from which, in the following
year, he was elevated to the See of Hereford.

As a Prelate of the Church of England, to the
principles of which he was devoutly attached, firm,
conscientious, and uncompromising.

As a Preacher, eloquent, faithful, and impressive ;
yet his most distinguishing characteristic, for which
he was remarkable in his earliest youth, was fervent
and unaffected piety.

His mortal remains are deposited within the Choir
of this Cathedral ; his spirit, as we humbly trust, is
with God, his Saviour."

On a brass plate in the Choir on base of
pillar.

" The Hon. and Right Rev. Edward Grey,
I). I)., xc'.': Bishop of Hereford, was here
buried July 31, 1S37.

Also his son Arthur John Grey, Lieut.
R.N., May 2nd, 1854."

This was the last actual interment inside
the Cathedral.

61, Edmund Audley, presided
over this See a.d. 1492 — 1502, when he
erected a Chantry consisting of two vaulted
chambers on the S. side of the Lady Chapel.
He was promoted to Salisbury where he
built another Chantry, and was there buried.
The whole being coloured internally must
have presented a magnificent appearance.
The stone screen on the N. side of this
Chantry is divided into 20 panels, containing
painted effigies of saints and personages who
have not been identified. The coloured
figures are arranged in two rows. In the
lower row 4 spaces are taken by the Vestry
window and 4 by the doorway. Nine figures
have perished; about 23 remain. The panels
in the base contain shields.

1. Initials entwined, I.R.

2. Arg. or fess on bar, arg. Fleur-de-lis

76. George Coke, ob: a. l). 1646.
Buried in the S.E. corner of the Chancel at
Eardisley. An imposing Monument was
erected about 20 years after the decease of
this Bishop in the N.E. corner of the S.E.
Transept. This was taken down circa 1S43;
various portions becoming lost or injured
during the repairs, the effigy only was
replaced a.d. 1861. A portion of the original
inscription remains on the adjacent wall,
and another portion, nearly illegible, is now
in the Bp. Cloister, 8th bay.f (See R. 35 for
copy of the same.) The upper portion of
the Tomb was erected by his descendants
a.d. 1875, with the following inscription: —

" In Memory of George Coke, fifth Son of
Richard Coke, of Trusley, Derbyshire, and
brother of Sir John Coke, Secretary of State
to Charles I. : born 3rd October, 1570.
Bishop of Bristol, 1631 ; translated to Here-
ford, 1 8th June, 1636; died 10th December,
1646."

" A meek, grave, and learned man, much
beloved by those who were subjected to his
jurisdiction, in defence of the Church
privileges in the stormy period in which he
was Bishop of this Diocese, he suffered
fine and imprisonment at the hands of the
Parliament."

" This monument was restored by some of
his descendants a.d. 1875."

The following extract and translation of
the original inscription, written by Francis
Hodgson, late Provost of Eaton, is taken by
permission from a Family History compiled
by Major J. Talbot Coke, printed for private
circulation a.d. 18S0 : —

Over the Bishop's effigy was a Latin
inscription, on two tablets, in the verbose
and inflated style of the period, and which,
as aptly observed by a late dignitary of the
church, is " indeed composed in the most
unchastised spirit of the Restoration " ; yet,
after due allowance has been made for the
times in which it was written, there can be
little doubt that he was a man of distinguished
learning and ability, of great firmness and
discretion, and singular piety.

Hear, Traveller, or behold him, who is no longer
heard. Learn his singular sense of Discipline. The
Prototype has impressed upon the statue the Image
of his Person. See him teaching a more wonderful
God, healing by the Shadow of Peter, dividing the
waters by the wonder-working mantle of Elijah, (but)
not a truer God than in this truth-telling Image. If
you do not believe the teacher, believe him who
experienced thai "Godliness hath the promise of this
life, as well as of that which is to come."

He experienced it who taught it. This Prelate
full of (76) years, happy in a pious and fruitful wife,
happy in his marriage chain, every day more pleasing,
and in the torch brighter every day, above the torch
of hymen. In his three Sacerdotal Sons, and four
Sons who were Laymen, but theologically pious —
fuller of God than of hope inasmuch as filled with
the assurance of faith, and inspired by the Deity, he
so lived as possessing life in patience, and death in
desire : wishing to die the death which he hardly
felt ; and as soon as he was dead feeling himself
immortal.

Oh day to be extolled above all length of years
the tenth day of December, after the tenth year of
his Episcopal Translation. In the year of his Saviour
1646 the most auspicious day of his Translation into
Eternity, on that birthday of his Glory died the
Angel of the Church of Hereford, endowed on the
same with an equality to the Angels.

The second tablet contains —

Emulous Posterity will be interested as we hope,
in knowing that, which, if men were silent, the stones
would proclaim, that the excellent and venerable old
man, George Coke, Lord Bishop of Bristol first, then
of Hereford, ennobled his birth with every instance
of Virture worthy of his Ancestors, through their
series prolonged from afar, and the knightly splendour
of his Father, and the Family Lineage. And that
he was the greatest ornament of those who had been
anciently well-born.

That he examined Divine subjects and the highest
mysteries with a diligent and severe scrutiny, nor
unravelled them only, but also taught them with a
lucid perspicacity, that he administered the Sacred
Rites suitably to the worship of the Deity, and to
the Piety of the Worshippers, trembling with most
reverential awe. That he gave answers from the
sacred Oracles to those who consulted him concerning
religion. That he set forth the fundamental principles
of the English Reformation as doctrines to be imbibed
in the inmost hearts of the Clergy and people. That
he lived in the most incorrupt, long, and unwearied
practice and exemplification of every kind of purity.
That he rendered and left himself by his severe

MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS IN THE

(His health) at length becoming infirm, and failing
among our late commotions, intestine tumults, and
calamities of the Church, among the confessors of the
Priestly Order, imprisoned together with him, not
without the prerogative of persecution and conformity
with Christ, that he proved himself the most
courageous fellow-sufferer. That as the consolation
of all his sorrows, of his life, and of his death, he
constantly pronounced one but most comprehensive
word (which was appended like a label to his most
trustful lips) "I shall rise again."

89. "George Isaac Huntingford,
D.D., Bishop of Hereford, died April 29th,
1832, aged 83 years."

A Memorial Window was erected in the
S.E.T. at the sole cost of Lord Saye and Sele
in 1863. The above inscription is painted
on the glass.

There is a monument in the Bp's Cloister,
formerly under the W. side of the organ
loft, with the following inscription.

To the Memory of

GEORGE ISAAC HUNTINGFORD, d.d., f.r.s.,

Lord Bishop of this Diocese and Warden of

Winchester College.

He died in his 84th year, April 29th, 1832.

Deeply versed in Biblical and Classical Literature,
he was held in high estimation as a profound theologian
and accomplished scholar. Humility of mind and
simplicity of manners, integrity of heart, benignity of
disposition, and the most expansive charity, shone
conspicuously in the character of this excellent and
amiable Prelate.

His mortal remains, at his own particular desire,
are deposited in the churchyard at Compton, near
Winchester, where he was first appointed a minister
of that Gospel, which it was the leading object of his
life to explain and illustrate, faithfully endeavouring,
both by precept and example, to adorn the doctrine
of God his Saviour in all things.

91. Thomas Musgrave, 1837 to
1847. On a brass plate, erected Dec, 1862,
beneath a large 4 light window, by Warring-
ton, in N. aisle of Choir, is the following
inscription : —

"The window above, and those in the
chapel beneath were filled with stained glass

a.d. 1862, in token of respect and love to
the Memory of Thomas Musgrave, D.D.
Bishop of Hereford, afterwards Archbishop
of York, who died 4th May, i860."

Subjects in stained glass illustrate the life
of St. Paul.

92. Renn Dickson Hampden.
Died in London on April 23, 1868, and was
buried in Kensal Green Cemetery, near his
predecessor Archbishop Musgrave, under a
plain Tomb, with a brief inscription.

It is with sincere regret that I have to
record the fact that there is no Memorial in
the Cathedral to this learned and memorable
Prelate.

John de Aquablanca. " He died
1320, and was buried in the Cathedral,
under a sumptuous monument, near Bishop
Aquablanca." B.W. 533.

The effigy on the floor of the aisle covers
the original grave of this Dean, which is
immediately below the pavement. He was
not deposited in a solid stone coffin, but
within stone slabs. The remains had been
disturbed and filled with rubbish. No
inscription has been recorded. G P. No. 10.

Stephen de Ledbury. In the
South wall of the Nave, near the Bishop's
Cloister door, is the effigy of a Dean under
a cusped arch. This is considered to be the
work of the middle of xiv. Century.
There is no inscription. It is suggested that
this would represent Stephen de Ledbury,
who was Dean from 1320 to 1352.*

John de Middleton. Deprived

Brown Willis, in his M.S., says that "he
was buried no doubt under one of the great
gravestones in the Nave, about 5 yards below
the choir door."f

John Harold, ob: Oct. 19, 1393.

B. Willis, in his M.S., states, "On the
north side of the letter L. lies another long
stone marked 31, for Dean Harold."

Also B. W., 533, states that "he was
buried in the Cathedral, where is yet an
imperfect inscription on a gravestone to his
memory. What remains is these words,
"de salme mercy, 1393."

The spot thus indicated is in front of
Dean Berew's tomb, where a fragment of an
interesting brass was laid down in i860
which was then supposed to represent Dean
Harold. See Fragments of Inscriptions, No.

Henry Shelford, ob: Sep. 26,
circa 1445.

B. Willis, in his M.S., states, "about a
foot or two northward of No. 23, and near
the letter L, which is just about the middle of
it, and about a foot from it, lies a long stone
marked 30, for Dean Shelford."

This would be in the vestibule of the Lady
Chapel to the N. of Dean Berew's tomb.
No trace of this stone remains.

John Berew, or Beaurieu, ob:
April 6, 1462, "and was buried under an
arch in the Lady Chapel on the south side."
B. W. 534.

Dingley, clxxix., gives a sketch of the
monument attributed to this Dean, with his
rebus of a boar wearing a coat of the Arms
of the Deanery, among leaves of rue. R. 225.

The effigy is a very beautiful work, but it
is now considered to be that of a Dean, or
other ecclesiastic attired in a cassock with
close sleeves, surplice, and tippet, who lived
about the middle or early half of the xiv.

Century. (M. H. Bloxham, A. y., xxxiv.
419.) There is no record of an inscription.
The engraving of this tomb by Carter gives
a good view of the painting formerly under
the arch, and Hollis in his " Monumental
Effigies," Part vi, Plate 5 gives a highly
finished engraving of this ecclesiastic.

Thomas Chawndeler, ob: 1490.
Against the W. wall of the S.E. Transept
is a much mutilated figure in the attire
of a Canon with the orphrey of the cope
ornamented with pomegranates, the head
and lower part broken off. It probably
commemorates Dean Chawndeler, 1490, as
it corresponds with the description given by
Duncumb 1., 559, of his effigy which lay on
the floor of this transept by the door opening
into the Vicar's Cloister.

The inscription still remains (now mural)

"Orate pro aia~ p'nobilis viri Magistri

John Harvey, ob: 1501.

Ding, clxix. mentions this tomb without
any inscription as " An alabaster monument
of one in Episcopall habit, quaere what Bishop
it was."

There is no record of any inscription
having been attached to this tomb. The
alabaster effigy was replaced in its original
position, in the S.E. Transept, on a new
base in i860. The three shields beneath it
belong to Bp. Trevenant's Tomb and were
placed under this effigy in error. R. does
not allude to this Tomb.

B- W. 534 states, " he appointed to be
buried in the Cathedral before St. Margaret's
altar. ... I presume the effigies lying
on a tomb in the upper end of the S. Isle,
near the Vicar's Cloysters, may be his."

t Several of the large stones turned out of the Cathedral are now placed at the entrance to the ancient
Chapter House. The metal pins remaining in these stones indicate the former existence of
very fine brass work.

The brass of Dean Froucester
who died a.d. 1529 is in the §. Aisle of the
Choir, measures 8ft. 6in. X 4ft. 4m., and
is much worn in places. This Dean is
pourtrayed in cap, almuce, surplice, and
rich cope ornamented with pomegranates ;
the orphrey is adorned with jewels. The
canopy in debased style is supported by
niches containing saints with their names
beneath. The two upper ones appear to be
representations of the Holy Trinity. St.

Above is a large plate engraved with a
triple canopy, having in the centre the
sacred monogram I.H.C., and on either side
a monogram of Froucester. Between the
finials are the arms of the Deanery, the See,
ancient and modern, and those apparently
of Froucester (argent on a fess [?] between
3 columbines sable, a lily). The whole
composition is surrounded by an inscription
in raised letters, and with symbols of the
Evangelists at the corners.

MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS IN THE

To perpetuate the memory of

Joseph Bailey, Junior, Esquire,

Representative of this County in the House

of Commons,

For more than ix. years.

A bust has been placed in the Shire Hall,
and this Altar Screen erected in the Cathedral
which his piety assisted to restore, not only
by those united to him by the ties of kindred
or private friendship, but by a general and
voluntary subscription of the many who knew
and appreciated his worth. For the great
benevolence of his disposition and humility
of his mind he was universally beloved. For
the sound judgment, the strict integrity, and
the active energy manifested in the duties
of his station he was valued and admired.
Firmly relying on the merits of his Redeemer,
his fortitude unshaken by the pressure of a
lingering and complicated disease, he was
removed out of this world the 31st day of
August, mdcccl., in the xxxixth year of his
age.

Wife, children, father, brothers, friends,
his County deplore their loss.

On a brass plate behind the Altar Screen.

Wales family ; was the eldest son of the late
Rev. George Baxter, one of the Brethren
of St Catherine's Hospital, London ; and
grandson of James Baxter, Esq., of the Rock
and Brynn, Montgomeryshire.

O kind he was, and just he was,

As father and as friend ;
In life to all an honest man,

And very calm his end.
In manners mild and merciful,

And Christian and pure :
May others lead the life he led

And be of bliss as sure !
And may they die as died he

When shall this life's breath cease,
For his death was the good man's death ;

His latter end was peace.

MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS IN THE

To the memory of the Rev. John
Clutton, Doctor in Divinity, twenty four years
Canon Residentiary of this Cathedral, and
fifty three years Rector of Kinnersley in this
County, who died 7th May, 1838, aged
seventy eight years. This monument was
erected by his affectionate widow, Mary,
daughter of the late Doctor Nathan AVetherell,
Dean of Hereford, both as a tribute of heart-
felt gratitude for his many domestic virtues,
of which she and her children reaped the
fruit, and as a token of deep respect for his
attachment to the cause of true religion ;
while he was judicious as a Divine and
eloquent as a Preacher, his exhortations to
duty were impressive, since he ever practised
what he taught to the glory of God his
Saviour.

To the memory of Velters
Cornewall, Esq., of Moccas, who represented
this County during forty-six years in seven
successive Parliaments. Encomiums upon
the dead are often the dictates of flattery to
the living. But the faithful friend who
inscribes this marble (though he cannot but
blame that excess of patriot jealousy, which
too cautiously withheld the deceas'd from
engaging in employments of State) yet does
justice to those generous and unshaken
principles, which alone directed his conduct,
opposing whatever seem'd to interfere with
the true interests of his country. By his
last wife Catherine, youngest daughter of
William Hanbury, Esq., of Little Marcle, he
had two children, Frederick Henry, who
died an infant, and Catherine, who (with her
surviving mother) has caused this monument
to be erected. He died at Moccas, upon
the third of April, 1768, in the 73rd year of
his age, just when his constituents were
preparing to re-elect him to an eighth
Parliament.

The brass of

RICHARD DE LA BARR,
ob: 1386, was formerly in the centre of the
Choir, west of steps to the High Altar. It
has been placed in the Lady Chapel near the
tomb of Dean Borue, under the impression
that it commemorated Dean Harold, who was
there interred. It consists of a small figure
in a Canon's dress; the cope ornamented
with an orphrey of fleur de lys in lozenges,
probably with reference to the arms of
Cantilupe. The effigy is placed inside the
head of a cross, of which one of the principal
and 3 of the smaller finials were until recently
remaining. Nearly 3 feet of the shaft are
preserved, together with the 4 steps of the
base, which are inscribed —

" mat' dei — miserere mei."

The marginal inscription is gone ; but
from a comparison of D., cxxiv., and R., 99,
it probably ran thus —

" Hie jacet Magister Ricardus Delabarre
quondam Canonicus hujus Ecclesias qui obiit
xvi. die Mensis Octob' Anno Dni. Mill"
ccclxxxvi. cui' ai~e p~picietur Deus.
Amen."

This brass is engraved in Boutell's Mon. Brasses.

On the floor of the S.E. Transept
is the nearly perfect brass of
SIR RICHARD DELABERE, KNIGHT,

15 14, and his two Wives, the first with 5
children and the second with 16.

The figures, which are small, are in the
usual attire of the begining of Cen. xvi. The
knight has a lance rest on his right breast, and
his head reclines on a helmet with a large
plume of feathers, and a demi-hound collared
and couped as a crest. There is a small
slip of brass below the groups of children,

but it contained the names of 5 or 6 only
out of the 21 children — Thomas, George,
Anne, and Sibill. Three shields remain with
the arms of Delabere. Az a bend ar. cotised
or, between six martlets of the last, and
other quarterings. A marginal inscription
runs round the whole : —

" Off your charite pray for the soull of Sir
Richard De[labere knyght, late of ye ] Countie
of Hereford. Anne, dought' of the lord
Awdeley, and Elizabeth, dought' of Willam
Mores, late s'geant of the hall to King Henry
the vii. wives of the said Sir Richard, whiche
decessid the xx. day of July, An0 dni Mill ~ mo
ccccc° xmj on whois soules ihu~ have M'ci.
Amen. "

B. W., 502, describes the place as St. Michael s
Chapel. U., exxxm., gives a large sketch of this
brass.

John de la Halle.

An early inscription, described as Saxon
and Norman by local writers, (but probably
belonging to latter half of xm. Century), was
formerly in the modern wall of the Music
Room, which was taken down in 1830, but
no trace can be found of it after that time.

It was on a soft sandstone much decayed.

In Wright's History, 1819, the following
copy of it is preserved : —

"Jon: de: la: halle: gyt: ici. dieu. de.

"Sa. alme. en. eyt. merci.

"ky. pur. sa. alme. priera.

"cent. iors. de. pardon, avera."
John de la halle lies here. God of
his soul have mercy.
Who for his soul shall pray,
a hundred days of pardon shall have.

Richard Gough, who visited Hereford in
1789, gives a copy of this inscription in his
Collection which he bequeathed to the
Bodleian Library. The following is an
exact copy, taken Feb., 1879 : —

"Jon: de: la: Halle: git: ici: Dieu: de: sa:
alme: en ait: merci: ky: pur: sa: alme: priera:
cent: jours: de: pardon: aurai:"

Gough says it was " found under some old
stones in the Cathedral yard, Hereford."

Note * This was the last burial within the Precincts. J. D. was for many years Sexton of the Cathedral and
from him I derived much local information. The above inscriptions, lately on two stones,
have been re-cut on one stone (Feb., 1SS1) at request of relatives.

t Custos Felton was son of Dr. Felton, Principal of St. Edmund Hall, Oxford. He greatly promoted
Chamber music, anil was an excellent performer on the Harpsicord and Violin. He revived
the College Musical Society, which held its meetings fortnightly in the old Hall. This place
becoming inconvenient, the Coffee House (now the Savings Bank) was selected, which
possessed the only room in the City sufficiently commodious for the purpose. This led to the
building of the present College Hall, which was opened at the Meeting of the Three Choirs
in 1753. W. F. wrote the "Burial Chant" for the funeral of his patron, Mr. Cornewall,
M.P., when buried in this Cathedral in 176S. Rev. W. Cooke, in his M.S., states that he
died at the age of 57. The family of Custos Garbett have presented a portrait of Mr. Felton
to the Custos and Vicars. July, 18S1. I have lately found a Viola which can be traced to him.

E. I.

On an ancient stone now over the burial place of
Dean Chaundler, are certain incised lines with the
above letters, followed by the solitary figure 8. I am
inclined to suppose that these lines were cut about
A.D. 1640. A stone of similar character has lately
been found under Chancel seats at Wormbridge. This
may have been an altar slab with one end cut oil ?
It is not known where it was found during recent
restorations.

Note • This highly respected Organist fell down the staircase near the College Common Room, on the
occasion of the Chapter's Audit Dinner. The sad event caused a great sensation in this City.

1755, died 15th Jan: 1826 in the seventy
first year of his age. To diffuse happiness,
uphold the laws and promote improvements
of" every kind, were the leading objects of his
active and useful life. For the furtherance
of these he possessed intellectual and moral
qualifications not often united with ability,
zeal and temper for the exemplary discharge
of public duties. He joined the kindly
virtues of cultivated talents which cheer and
embelish social life. Respect and confidence
awaited him abroad. At home the tenderest
affection. In every vicissitude of joy and
sorrow he maintained a meek composure of
mind and a constant sense of divine pro-
vidence worthy of his Christian faith. His
remains with those of Eliza his beloved wife,
and of William Hoskyns Matthews, their
deeply lamented eldest son, are deposited

resided.

" Near the monument of Bp:
Bennett is an elegant marble monument to
the memory of Anne Rudd, who died August
23, 1781, aged 28, with the following simple
and elegant inscription, written by the Rev.
A. Rudd, A.M.,to whose unfortunate memory,
each one who knew him will certainly drop
the sympathising tear of pity."

"To a form unaffectedly elegant, was
join'd the more permanent possession of a
soul elevated by religion and a mind enriched
by a familiar acquaintance with useful science.
Her exemplary manner of discharging the
relative duties of social life, proclaim'd the
soundness of her judgment & the purity of
her principles. This humble tablet is not
inscribed as a tribute to vanity or a sacrifice
to custom; but solely to record the virtues
of an amiable character, and to alleviate those
pangs of separation, which they only can
adequately conceive, whom similarity of
suffering may have taught sympathy of
sensation."

The fount of love whose stream is yet unspent,

Shall calm our hearts that live her monument.

A bereaved and deeply sorrowing mother, as a
tribute of her tender affection consecrates this marble
to the fondly cherished memory of her beloved and
greatly lamented son. Correct and amiable in
outward life, mild and endearing in manners, affec-
tionate and kind ir disposition, nature mourns his
early removal, but faith can look beyond the grave.
And with praise adore the gracious influence of that
divine power, which taught him to hail as blessings
the very afflictions, that brought down his strength
in the way and shortened his days, because they led
him to see the vanity and nothingness of this transitory
life and to fix his thoughts and hopes on those joys
and that ineffable glory which through the mercy of
redeeming love will endure for ever.

ARGE stone slab, with faint
traces of an inscription in French,
HI with a full-length figure of a Dig-
nitary, incised ; date circa 1300. There is a
similar stone in York Minster. Now placed

erect (in 1867) against W. Wall, near Bp:
Stanbury's tomb.

II. The head of an early military
effigy, found in 1857 during repair of S. E.
Transept. Rawlinson, p. 22, describes what
he saw in the N. Transept. Dingley, clvi.,
gives a sketch of what appears to be the
same.

III. Large Coffin lid, nearly
perfect, erect against W. wall. See Plate III.
Discovered during late Restoration. This
fine slab measures 7 ft. 3 in height.

IV. Large slab with outlines of
a Knight and Lady. Dingley gives a sketch
which is inaccurate in details, as tho' drawn
from memory. This stone was formerly in
the vestibule of the Lady Chapel. It has been
suggested that it may have been prepared
for Sir John Devereux, K.G., who died in
1394-

A large portion of the border of this stone was
certainly filled with thin plates of alabaster when I
first saw it. These were loosened by the action of
rain and frost during exposure for several years
outside the walls of this Church. I never had a
chance of preserving any of these fragments, as they
were all taken or destroyed by unknown hands.

V. Fine stone effigy of a Layman
in tunic and hood, with carved pateras in a
hollow moulding on right hand side. The
feet are gone. Hollis gives a full sized
illustration of this effigy (Part iv., p.. 5),
which Mr. Bloxham assigns to the middle
of Century XIV. The remains of ancient
Altars are placed beneath this and adjacent
effigies.

XI. Part of a large incised slab;

XII. Altar Tomb with Effigy
more mutilated than any other in this Church.
It represents a Dean or other high ecclesiastic,
wearing a cassock, over which is the short
surplice with sleeves, and over this the
almucium or furred tippet. Nothing is
known about this tomb or effigy which
belongs to Century XV. It has been sug-
gested that it may be that of Dean Borue,
as the very beautiful effigy usually assigned
to him is considered to be at least 100 years
older than the date of his decease.

XIII. Fragment of a rich coffin
slab, of XIII. Century work, with remains
of a few words, probably "Ave Maria." The
outer edge is chamfered; within is a beautiful
flowing pattern, sunk one inch below surface,
with a raised border. Found beneath adjacent
Tomb, where other portions still remain.
This and following fragments are on the E.
wall.

XIV. Small portion of the head
of an effigy. This came (as I believe) from
Aconbury Church while undergoing restora-
tion at the same time as this Cathedral.

XV. Small flat stone cross with
chamfer on each side. An early English
example; fleur de lis pattern within quatrefoil.

XVI. * Portion of a slab, with
cross and chevron pattern. Norman character.
There used to be another similar stone in the
C.H.Y.

XV I I . Fragment of a coffin slab
with large cross. This must have been a
very large and fine stone. It is 2"8 across
the head.

XVIII. Portions of an early

coffin slab. A beautiful design, with traces
of a few letters on the top.

XIX. Small portion of a slab.
A most elegant example.

XX. Large and elaborate coffin
lid, discovered during the restoration of the
staircase to the Library, in external founda-
tions ; circa 1858. See Fasti Heref: 129.

XXI. Small portion of a faintly
incised cross, with fleur de lis terminals.

XXII. In the wall between this
Transept and the Lady Chapel is an arched
recess with Ball Flower ornament. It is
possible that Bishop Hugh Foliott, or John
de Breton, may have been buried in this
place. But the effigy of a Knight (circa a.d.
1300) was placed here in 1861, of whom
nothing is known. The details of the armour,
after exposure for many years in the Cloister
area, cannot now be made out. Dingley
(clxxvii.) gives a sketch of this arch, con-
taining the effigy of a bishop with mitre
and staff; also this inscription, " Dominus
Robertus Kilwardby, Episcop~ Herefordensis
obiit a.d. 1282." Mr. J. G. Nichols well
remarks that it is difficult to interpret this
mural inscription. No such Bishop is on
record. But this was the name of the Arch-
bishop of Canterbury who resigned that See
when he became a Cardinal a.d. 1278.

on S. wall, formerly bearing brass work.
Nothing is known about it.

his mouth — Deprecare regem celi pro me

a copy and a sketch. R., 130, also mentions
it.

is the correct title.

Page 10. — There is a word in line 1 1 of the mutilated
inscription to Bishop Butler which has puzzled the
most eminent scholars — de foso. It must be remem-
bered that this tablet was repainted by an illiterate
hand a few years ago. After these pages were printed,
I determined to make an effort to solve the difficulty
by removing the paint and examining the original
lines beneath it. I have no doubt that the true
reading is " Quidqam de ipso testaretur aliud." The
tablet was altered accordingly, August 24, 1881.

Dean Merewether describes the opening of this
grave, when by his direction the plaster was removed
from the doorway leading from the cloisters to the
ancient Chapter House. "In prosecution of this
object, the marks of the range of steps were distinctly
traced, and on a level with the floor from which they
sprung there appeared a grave or vault accurately
built with well wrought stones, in which was con-
tained a human skeleton in great measure decomposed,
except the hair which was of a light sandy colour,
appearing as fresh and firm in its texture as when
first interred. There were the remains of one or two
nails or screws, very much corroded which led to the
conclusion that a wooden coffin had contained the
body. But there was nothing to indicate the name
of the person, altho' the central situation and the
place itself bespoke him to have been a person of no
mean rank in the fraternity."

•ONTISPIECE.

^^|N the north side of the Ladye

MR«j(J Chapel is a high Tomb surmounted
"""-■^l with a rich canopy, panelled in
seven divisions (G.P. No. 40). Within a
recess lies a full-sized effigy which is in a
very perfect state. On the head is worn a
conical basinet attached to which is a camail,
of mail of rings set edgewise. At the
armpits are gussets of mail. Epaulieres of
one plate each, brassarts, coudes and vam-
braces protect the shoulders, upper arms,
elbows and lower arms. Gauntlets cover the
hands. The cyclass covers the body armour,
coming down lower behind than in front,
with fringed skirts, open at the sides. Beneath
this appears the gambeson and a skirt of
mail ; genouilleres, jambs and sollerets protect
the knees, legs, and feet. Round the loins
is a rich bawdrick or belt, from which depends
a chain, to which a Dagger is fastened. A
cross-hilted sword is on the left side. The
hands are conjoined on the breast as in
prayer. At the feet is a dog. This is one
of those scarce monumental effigies shewing
the cyclass, a linen or silken close fitting
habit worn over the armour (which succeeded
the surcoat) in the reign of Edward in. The
tabernacle work above the effigy is very rich
and chaste, and appears in design and work-
manship to be later than the effigy.* In
the upper portion are statuettes representing
the Coronation of the B. Virgin by the second
person of the Blessed Trinity. On the dexter
side are King Ethelbert and St. John the
Baptist ; on the other side Archbishop Thomas
a Becket, and Bishop Thomas de Cantilupe.
The central figures forming part of the monu-
ment are mutilated, but the four effigies were
discovered by Dean Merewether, secreted in
the masonry which filled up the eastern
archway of the choir.

Those who were well acquainted with this
Cathedral before the great Restoration com-
menced, have stated that the position of the
Shrine of St. Thomas was to be seen in the
pavement so lately as a.d. 1842, when the
stone floor was taken up. Several of these
much worn stones are carefully preserved in
the Library at the present time. Any one
who recalls how in Westminster Abbey our
Kings and Princes were buried around the
Shrine of St. Edward, King and Confessor ;
and how at Canterbury, Edward the Black
Prince, and Henry iv. and his Queen, Joan
of Navarre, are placed in similar relation to
the Shrine of St. Thomas a Becket, will be
aware of the importance attached to such
proximity to the Shrine of a Saint. We
might then expect that ' a monument in this
position could only be assigned to some
person of the highest rank. For many years
past authors and artists have " supposed "
that this effigy represented one of the noble
family of De Bohun, Earls of Hereford, who
flourished, temp: Edward n. and in., without
any historical evidence. The burial places
of all the xiv. Century members of that
great family can be accounted for. f (Dugdales
Monasticon iv., 140). It is only recently,
that what appears to be the true clue, has
been obtained. In September, 1867, a letter
appeared in the Hereford Journal \ suggesting
that the effigy represented Sir Peter, the
father of Bishop Grandison. Further research
leads to the conclusion that it represents
Peter Baron de Grandisson, an older brother
of that Bishop.

therefrom was connected by ties of relationship

with St. Thomas de Cantilupe.

It may be well, first of all, to state certain

dates connected with the various removals

of Bishop Cantilupe's remains.

1282 a.d. The Bishop died in Italy. His
bones were deposited in the Ladye
Chapel, and his heart sent to Ashridge,
Buckinghamshire.

Statement, p. 83. Also Rawlinson's
Antiquities, 17 17.

1545. In the month of October this year
we may suppose that the Cantilupe

reliques were removed thence according
to the Order of Council for taking away
Shrines and Images.

1617-33. Bishop Godwin found the stone
work portion of the Shrine very nearly
in its present position in N. Transept
aisle.

1676. Dingley saw the Shrine, made a
drawing and described adjacent mural
painting of Bishop Cantilupe.

1857. The stonework hitherto fixed against

the wall, was taken down, cleaned and

rebuilt with the utmost care under the

direction of Sir G. G. Scott.

Leland states in his Itinerary, vin., 86,

"Petrus de Grandison miles in sacello S.

Who was Peter de G . . ? In folio

84 we learn that William Graunson had Peter

daughter of Lord William de Cantilupe

and sister of Thomas, Bishop of Hereford.

This Peter was buried in the Lady Chapel

"your illustration is specially interesting to

case : — " Lord William Grandisson and his
wife Sibilla died in 1335. They had 5 sons
and 4 daughters. On the death of Lord
William the title descended to his eldest son
Peter, brother of the Bishop. This Peter
Lord G. died in 1358, without male issue,
as we find that the Bishop succeeded to the
Peerage on the death of his eldest brother."
Of the Bishop, Dr. Oliver thus writes : —
"succeeding on the death of his brother
Peter, Lord Grandisson, in 135S to the
peerage, he became the wealthiest Lord
Bishop that Exeter had hitherto possessed."

If Leland's statement of the monument in
Hereford Cathedral be accepted as a Peter
Grandisson, it can not be other than that of
Peter the Baron, as there is no other Peter in
the Bishop's family, as his next brother Otho
had a son named Thomas,* and both his
younger brothers Thomas and William were
ecclesiastics and therefore celebates.

Of the Bishop's elder brother, Peter, Ur.
Oliver says he was buried in Hereford
Cathedral. Query? Is the Hereford tomb
the monument of Peter? Or, had Peter
a son? If so he would probably be Sir
Peter. But there is no record at hand of
the issue of Peter the Baron, and if he had
a son he must have died before his father,
or the title could not have descended to the
Bishop.

The Arms of Grandison were Paly of 6 arg. and az. on a bend Gules, 3 eaglets
displayed, or. The Bishop appears to have borne, for distinction, but 2 eaglets on the bend,
but probably assumed the undifferenced coat on succeeding to the Barony.

As there is no other layman's memorial
in the Lady Chapel, we hesitate not to
assign this fine monument to Peter Baron
de Gandisson who was buried near the
Shrine of his recently translated grand-uncle
(with sculptures appropriate to the Chapel
of the Virgin, and to the Saint who had
found a brief repose in the Chapel of the
Baptist in the N. Transept), which was now
set in the most elevated part of the church
which claimed Ethelbert, saint and king, for
its Founder.

The illustration of this fine effigyf has
been reduced by photography from a full
sized drawing made by Albert Hartshorne,
Esq., Sec. of the Royal Archaeological Insti-
tute of Great Britain. The original drawing
is in the possession of the Society of
Antiquaries, London.

Rev. C. Boutell, when describing this effigy
{Arch. J., xxvii., 176), says: — "This one
has a peculiarity I will mention, the camail
formed of chain work, and hung from the
head-piece over the shoulders as a guard
to the throat. It was attached to the helmet
by little rings, which rings they found were
liable to be cut: hence was adopted the
method of sewing it on with a small leather
interlace as it here appears."

* This Thomas was of full age at his father's death. He was also a Soldier and a Knight, and died
without issue, 50th Edward III.

t The oolite panelling behind the effigy is fixed to the sandstone wall with iron plugs; thus leading to the
supposition that there was a recess in this place before the Tornb was erected. There are no
traces of heraldry or inscription, or colour. Length of effigy from head to feet, not including
the helmet, 5 ft. 10 in. ; width across elbows, I ft. 11 in. The head rests on two cushions.
The roses on the canopy are double ; on the belt and sword, single. A circular hole is sunk
below the knees, I % in. diameter ; also a smaller hexagonal hole, which may have formed
supports for the shield or other martial trophies of the deceased ; or they were sockets for
the partial support of a wooden hearse over the figure.

The following account of Chancellor Swin-
field's grave by Dean Merewether has been
given in Fasti Heref: p. 198. The objects
mentioned are preserved in the Library and
glass case in the Canons' Vestry.

" Another grave was situated on the north
aisle of the Choir opposite Bishop Stanbury's
monument. The stone which covered it
had been carved, or rather etched, in lines,
representing an ecclesiastic in robes, but the
constant wear of those who for centuries had
passed over it had almost obliterated the
whole. At about two feet from the surface
was a large and thick stone which covered
the whole of the grave, cemented down by a
very tenacious mortar. After considerable
trouble the stone was raised, when the first
object which met the eye was a chalice and
paten of pewter, having on the top of it the
decomposed remains of a square silk covering,

upon which had been placed a taper in the
form of a cross, partially burnt at each of the
four ends, and exhibiting still the remains of
the wicks. On taking off the top of the
chalice, there was observable a mark round
the sides, which had been caused by the
consecrated fluid it had contained. It was
placed near the right shoulder of a skeleton,
which was tolerably perfect. The hands had
been placed over the breast in the attitude
of prayer, but they had long since deserted
the bones, and they had collapsed in a con-
fused heap upon the breast, which had been
decorated with a plaiting of gold lace, sur-
rounded by an embroidered band, which had
passed round the neck. Another piece of
broader gold lace extended from this at right
angles down to the feet, and yet adhered to
the fragile remains of a silken texture,
which, though now brown, had once been
evidently black, and which had descended
to the feet. These were covered on the
upper part with the leather of shoes, the
soles of which were gone. It was evident
that no coffin of any kind had contained the
body, from the still visible mark which had
been left on the side of the grave by the
pressure of the arm giving the outline of its
form when shrouded. The hair was perfect,
as were also the finger nails, which were
remarkable from the filbert-like form which
they retained, and the precision with which
they seemed to have been cut. But the
presence of the taper is the most striking
feature in this instance, which to me is
unique. But the other remains are still
enclosed in their resting place of 500 years
and upwards with as little disturbance as

DESCRIPTION OF ANCIENT GRAVES, BY DEAN MEREWETHER.

I have a MS. written by the late Dean in the same year that the Music Room was taken down, giving interesting details of

which a summary is now made. It was resolved to excavate the ground on the W. side of the Cloisters, remove a large quantity of

id fill the excavation with earth accumulated in I d ' iur. The commencement was made on the side nearest

The ( athedxal, and after passing through courses of rubbish and carved stones which could not be attributed to the fall of the W.

Tower in 1736, the workmen came upon a stone coffin (at depth of 2 feet below level of ( li ed ol slabs of stone

together, covered by similar pieces set in mortar. On removing this, there appeared the remains of a human fr
tolerable state of regularity, but the bones on being touched were found to have acquired a consi tency like clay. The whole body
had been enveloped in a winding sheet of very coarse texture,— sufficient remaining to shew the manner in whii h the body had
been swathed therewith. But the most remarkable feature in this case was the appearance of a hazel stick or wand 1" 1
by the left side of the body.' It was usual in early ages to distinguish, both when alive and dead, those whose piety and

another coffin of similar style and dimensions presented itself; the edges of the several stones foiming the sides were carved with

PLATE IV.

£omb of Bisbop Swinfielo, ob: B.1S). 1316.

N the northern side of the
N. East Transept there is a richly
moulded arch over the Tomb of
the once celebrated Bishop of this See,
Richard de Swinfield.* In former times his
name did not attract much attention, but
recently the objects found in his Tomb, and
the publication of his " Household Roll" (for
the year 1289 — 90) have brought him into
considerable prominence. Through the
learned research of the late Rev. John Webb
we have a remarkable insight into the habits
of the Bishop and Clergy nearly 600 years
ago. This Bishop lead a most active life,
constantly visiting his clergy with a large
retinue of officials, servants, and horses ;
while his numerous Manor houses demanded
a constant change of residence, he found but
little repose at any place. It is gratifying to
find a favourable notice of this Bishop in a
volume just published, which cannot fail to
interest ecclesiastical students.!

"As early as 1281, Richard de Swinfield,
Archdeacon of London, afterwards Bishop
of Hereford, was appointed preacher in the
Cathedral. He was learned in the sacred
page, and an excellent preacher ; a most
approved theologian and a gracious preacher ;
beloved by Clergy and Laity of the City."

This tomb does not appear to have
attracted any attention from artists or anti-
quaries, although there are many points of
interest in its details.

As far as I can ascertain, no illustration
has been published of this, the earliest
Inscription in the Cathedral. Although there
are no remains, nor record of an Effigy being
attached to this tomb, I feel confident that

there must have been one here originally, in
all respects very rich and beautiful. How or
when it was destroyed we know not ; but
with rich carving, colour, and gilding — the
arch also having been enriched with colour —
there is little doubt that this Tomb presented
an incredibly rich appearance 560 years ago.
The actual state at the present time is shewn
in the illustration now given. The Tomb is
constructed with a fine green sandstone,
similar to the Cantilupe shrine. The stone
coffin is a solid block, finely worked, being
in a very perfect state. It commences 18%
inches below, and stands 6 inches above the
floor line. The coffin lid, 5 inches in thick-
ness, rests thereon, having no ornament or
mark of any kind. The external dimensions
are 8" 1' in length, 2" 9' breadth at W. end,
2" 4' at E. end. Sides 3^ inches thick.
Above the coffin lid is a 6 inch course of
rough masonry. The coffin was lowered 6
inches in 1861, thus for the first time
exposing the rough stonework. Above is
another course of well-dressed stone, on
which there are traces of red colouring.
Above this course is a large stone 8'' 5'x
1" 5^' inio which the inscription is cut ; the
letters — 2^ inches in height — are filled with
a black bitumenous substance, all around
having been richly coloured originally. There
are traces of small circles, but all other details
have perished. The carved Crucifixion
subject on the upper panel was studiously
defaced in former ages. The surrounding
foliage has been preserved by whitewash,
which has been removed with great care, so
that the original freshness is retained. The
outer moulding is studded with a double
row of small Ball Flower ornament, termina-
ting on either side with the carved head of an

Note * The late Sir ('.. <;. Scott has left a detailed account of the works accomplished by this Bishop in the
Nave, Aisles, and N. E. Transept. The Monument, he states, was "no doubt in his later
days, erected to himself." — Arch: Jouni:, XXXIV., 341.

ecclesiastic. Over the centre of the moulded
arch there is a pierced trefoil which may
have contained some lost ornament. The
Ball Flower being carried up to form a gable,
bearing crockets, now much mutilated, is
terminated by a carved finial. The Ball
Flowers on this and other Tombs form an
interesting architectural study.

Tli is Tomb was opened in the presence of
the Dean, on July 30th, 1861. See Fasti
Heref: 199, for full particulars. The body
of the Bishop, encased in lead, has never
been disturbed. The gilded head of the

Pastoral Staff taken from this Tomb, was
used as the model for the new Staff presented
to Bishop Atlay in 1872. The Chalice and
Paten* found on the right hand side of the
Bishop's head are preserved in the Canon's
Vestry. Fac similies have been manufactured
in large numbers for colonial and missionary
use by Pratt and Son, of London. The
effigy of Giles de Braose was in this place
for many years previously to its removal in
i860 to original position. In the illustration
the details and irregularities of the inscription
are carefully delineated.

TONE panel inserted in the

wall at the eastern end of Bishop
Mayo's tomb in the S. aisle.

The original brass work was taken away
upwards of two centuries ago. The President
and Fellows of St. Mary Magdalene College,
Oxford, provided Funds to restore this tomb
in 1857. An attempt was then made to
replace the lost metal work, resembling as
closely as possible the original plates. The
Bishop is represented in full vestments, in
prayer or contemplation. A shield bearing
his arms occupies the central panel. The
Blessed Virgin is represented as seated,
bearing in her arms the dead body of Christ.
See page 5 for discription of this tomb.

now fixed under the window in N. E. corner
of the lesser Transept. See page 77, No.

3. Sketch of an incised stone which forms
part of the base of Bishop Cantilupe's shrine.
This was visible when the tomb was taken
down in 1857. The incised lines were cut
with much neatness, about ]^ of an inch in
breadth. The stone is 6"i' in length, having
been worked at the head and two sides to
adapt it to the shrine. It was my impression
that this fine slab had been taken from an
earlier grave ; but I may be mistaken in this
opinion. Each arm of the cross is 1 6 *4 inches,
the outer ends being 2 3^ inches. The central
shaft is 2 inches to the outside the grooved
lines. The cross tapers to 2 inches. See

skull cap, and wearing a richly embroidered
cope. On either side was a selection of
figures of saints, 10 in number. An em-
battled entablature surmounted the canopy,
and an inscription (see Page 60) surrounded

the whole in a single line. All the portions
that remain are fixed on the W. wall of the

jfac simile of brass effigy of William {porter,

HIS curious brass, formerly
lying between the 2nd and 3rd
Pillars on the N. side of the Nave
(G.P. 1 13) with portions of the canopy, have
lately been restored from Mr. J. G. Nichols'
collection.

I cannot do better than transfer to these
pages the remarks of the late Rev. Herbert
Haines, who had examined the whole of
these brasses before he wrote his last des-
cription of them in 1871. He says, "Dingley
has given a sketch of the brass (cxliii.), but
it is evidently very inaccurate, as the deceased
is represented as wearing a chasuble under
his cope ; he holds a chalice with a wafer
inscribed I.S.H., a very unusual arrangement
with effigies in canonical vestments, (a.)
The centre of the canopy is all in one plate,
and consists of 3 small pediments drawn in
perspective, as if the centre one projected
forwards ; above under a similar canopy
groining, is a large representation of the
Annunciation ; the angel Gabriel holds a
sceptre, and a pot of lilies is between him
and the Virgin, (b.) From the figures
issue two twisted scrolls inscribed respect-
ively, "Ave. Graci(a) plena, diis. tecum, and

ECCE. ANCILA. DNI. FIAT. MICI. SCDM. VERBU.

twm. The letters are early specimens of
Roman capitals, and the background repre-

sents masonry. The centre and highest finial
of the canopy is formed of 3 faces, and
apparently served as a bracket to a representa-
tion of the martyrdom of some saint, as two
angels of similar style to the figure of Gabriel
remain. The supporting shafts of the canopy
were composed of 8 or 10 saints in niches,
with their names subscribed. Seven are
left. On the dexter side, St Thomas as a
Bishop, St. George slaying the dragon, St
Richard, (as a Bishop in dalmatic and cope)
S. Katherine. On the sinister side, St John
Baptist, St. Michael, and St. Leonard. The
figures of Saints Ethelbert, Edward, and
Mary Magdalene, probably completed the
series.

Two shields, with the arms of Porter
quartered, and small fragments of the canopy
are left. The surrounding inscription % (See
page 56) is preserved by Rawlinson and
Dingley ; it seems to be partly imitated from
that of Dean Chawndeler, as it minutely states
the time of decease in a very unusual manner.

The brass is interesting as being the only
remaining instance of a canopy with the
Annunciation depicted in a style similar to
those formerly in old St. Paul's Cathedral on
the brasses of Dean Eyre, 1400, and J.
Newcourt, 1485, after which patterns it may
have been directed to be made.

Note A. — There are other similar examples at Cobham, Buckland — Herts, and Higham Ferrers.

B. — Mr. Haines fortunately took a rubbing of this most interesting plate, of which he gives a small
illustration — Plate VII. — in his communication made to the Journal of the British Arch.
Assoc, for 1871; This brass plate has not yet been restored to Hereford Cathedral. It seems
to be again lost.

Botes on Jfvaoinents of Brasses,

RESTORED A.D. 1880.

T was well known among
antiquaries that the late Mr. J.
Gough Nichols possessed numerous
fragments of brasses from this Cathedral and
other Churches, which had been sold as old
metal. It had long been my wish to recover
them. In 1867 Mr. Nichols visited this
County, when preparing Dingley's MS. for
publication. On making his acquaintance
I brought this subject before him. In a
letter dated March 21, 1868, he writes, "I
am anxious to restore to youi church such
fragments of sepulchral brasses as can be
proved to have come from it. I have intended
to propose it long since, but I am not sure
what I have to offer. Mr. Haines has in-
accurately appropriated the fragments, as he
has now explained to me, but I think I shall
be able to return portions of the brasses of
Rudhall and Porter. Have you their stones
ready for their reception ? If not you would
put them against the wall." In another
letter, April 12, 1870, he writes, "I find
that in page 180 (Fasti Heref.) you have
announced my intention to restore the frag-
ments that came to my father from Mr.
Gough. It would have been a greater
pleasure if you could have recorded it as an
accomplished fact. I must make it my
business to identify them and see that they
are all preserved."

Shortly after this Mr. Haines examined
the brasses which were nailed to the walls of
Mr. Nichols' office, in Parliament Street,
Westminster. Receiving Mr. Haines' written
and verbal description, I was prepared to

identify the Hereford brasses. A day was
fixed for that purpose, but illness prevented
Mr. Nichols from coming up from Dorking
to Parliament Street. In February, 187 1,
he writes, " I am sorry that you have not
found me here, and that we cannot hunt up
the Hereford brasses together. If you have
no other prospect of re-visiting London soon,
we can perhaps make some other arrange
ment." The death of Mr. Nichols occurred
soon after.

Thus the matter fell through, until the
visit of the Arch. Institute in 1877, when
the subject was revived. Solely through the
assistance of Stephen Tucker, Esq., Somerset
Herald, 39 brasses, of which some were found
not to belong to Hereford, were obtained
from the executors of Mr. Nichols in Novem-
